– RAM 2×2gb Kingston KVR800D2N5/2G 800mhz DDR2 – (60 €);
– Hard Disk Western Digital WD10EACS Green Power SATA2 1Tb – (139 €);
– DVD-burner Asus DRW2014S1T SATA Silver – (22 €);

iTunes manages my 90000+ tracks library easily with all this horsepower and im very happy and proud of this baby 🙂 The case is really well designed, robust and aesthetically great (im a Mac user, the design of the tech stuff I buy is important!)..
I finally solved all my problems with my gargantuan music collection 😉
